A Bayesian fusion model for space-time reconstruction of finely resolved velocities in turbulent flows from low resolution measurements

Abstract

The study of turbulent flows calls for measurements with high resolution both in space and in time. We propose a new approach to reconstruct High-Temporal-High-Spatial resolution velocity fields by combining two sources of information that are well-resolved either in space or in time, the Low-Temporal-High-Spatial (LTHS) and the High-Temporal-Low-Spatial (HTLS) resolution measurements. In the framework of co-conception between sensing and data post-processing, this work extensively investigates a Bayesian reconstruction approach using a simulated database. A Bayesian fusion model is developed to solve the inverse problem of data reconstruction. The model uses a Maximum A Posteriori estimate, which yields the most probable field knowing the measurements. The DNS of a wall-bounded turbulent flow at moderate Reynolds number is used to validate and assess the performances of the present approach. Low resolution measurements are subsampled in time and space from the fully resolved data. Reconstructed velocities are compared to the reference DNS to estimate the reconstruction errors. The model is compared to other conventional methods such as Linear Stochastic Estimation and cubic spline interpolation. Results show the superior accuracy of the proposed method in all configurations. Further investigations of model performances on various range of scales demonstrate its robustness. Numerical experiments also permit to estimate the expected maximum information level corresponding to limitations of experimental instruments.

A Framework for Green Interior Design and Simulation Using Immersive VR Technology

“…Pattern recognition focuses on the classification of optical map, text, fingerprint, chromosome, and so on. Computer vision is to describe the scene of objects according to the situation of the image and to broaden and assist the visual function in a certain situation [17][18][19]. We can easily and consciously perceive the world around us through our eyes.…”

Model-based multi-sensor fusion for reconstructing wall-bounded turbulence

“…Although this approach does not take into account any flow physics, it provides a reasonable benchmark for comparison. The same UD approach was also considered in [30]. In order to maintain symmetry in the resulting placement, the number of sensors m is selected to be a perfect square.…”

“…Previous studies have also considered purely statistical data fusion methods for flow reconstruction. In [30], a "model-free" maximum a posteriori (MAP) algorithm was proposed for fusing low-temporal-high-spatial resolution data with high-temporal-lowspatial resolution data for turbulent flow reconstruction. However, it is important to note that this work did not leverage a model to perform dynamic estimation.…”
